  No.

  You've confused *incoming* connections with *outgoing* connections.
Realms allow you to send packets to outgoing connections.  Realms do
*not* "accept traffic".

  You're stuck on implementing a particular solution.  Instead, focus on
the problem.  It will usually be easier than you think.

  Draw a diagram of how you want packets to flow in/out of the server.
Incoming packets require a "listen" section.  Outgoing packets require a
"home_server" definition.  The glue in between is the realms, and/or the
policies you want to configure.
